    Still sitting here. Just thought we could come here with four kids on a Saturday and have a fun race. WRONGOOOOOO DO NOT PLAN ON THIS!!!! I wish any of the reviews would have told me this before coming but on the weekends, it is all birthday party priority so we literally had to come here and pay $175 for 4 kids to do two races and the wait was about 7 hours. We have spent a small mint on food and video games , but it is our son's 13th birthday and he has never been here, and he wanted to come here with a couple friends. I wish I had known all this before coming . I am writing the review that I wish I would have read!!!! If I knew all this I would have booked a party. Don't plan to ever come back. Still 3 hours till our first race. Been here ALLLL DAY.

    Hadn't been here in a couple of years until recently. They have computers on site to sign up, then you move on to pay with one of the employees there. We were a pretty big party, so it took a while to get us all situated. It was surprisingly empty for a Friday afternoon but it seems like we just beat the rush. They provide you with everything you need. There is an arcade for games as well. Such a fun activity, they will also let children race on their own. There is plenty of parking.

    I paid the price for standard race not for the Junior. Staff is extremely not helpful at all turned the speed limit on when there's somebody that can go full speed every single lap, not fair. Not recommended this location at all, these guys just ruining the fun part of this circuit

    Getting ready for the ride

    See all

    This place is the worst. Been here twice and both times they just shrug and say no junior races available.

    Ask the Community - K1 Speed Santa Clara

    Is this safe for 5 and 6 year olds?

    Hello Mazry! Yes, as long as they meet our height requirement (48") and can reach the steering wheel and pedals, they're safe at K1 Speed. Our single-seater Junior Karts do not go as fast as our adult karts, and we can electronically control the… Read more

    Is this a bigger area than the one in South San Francisco?

    No it's not. It's a lot smaller than the one in South SF.

    If I buy the tickets online, can I come any time to use them (ex: month after purchase, etc)?

    Yes

    Are you still open? Is it usually busy for a wait? And what is the price?

    Yes, we are OPEN! Wait times can vary. Please visit our website link on this page for pricing information and for our number to call about the current wait times. Hope to see you on the track soon!

    How much is it and what ages?

    Please visit our website link on this page for current pricing information. There is no age requirement, just height. Junior karts are for kids 48" or taller, while our adult karts are for people 58" and taller. Hope we see you soon!

    Are there karts for 2 riders?

    No but there are "jr" carts

    My understanding is that reservations are only for events or groups larger than 8 people. Is this also true with Covid-19 restrictions?

    Hey Luis! Yeah, even during COVID you're looking at the same deal. Reservations only for groups of 8 or more. We have had groups of less than 8 book an event for 8, and they just split the extra cost amongst themselves. Hope we'll see you soon!

    My son is turning 8. He loves go karts. Is it kid friendly or are kids 8years old able to ride?

    Yes, there two types of races, kids and adults. But pretty much all depends on the high of your son, He has to be certain high to be able to press the pedals.

    As A 45 year old with an expired licence, can I drive?

    Hello Erik! Yes, a driver's license is not required to race at K1 Speed. You'll just need to be at least 4'10" tall to race in our adult karts. Hope we'll see you at the track soon!

    How long does one race last?

    Under 7min. Results after race are always questionable.

    If I'm a minor do I need a parent to be with me or just sign the waiver?

    I think you can download/sign the waiver online and have your parent sign the waiver and bring it with you. Not sure if they've changed the policy, but I'd call them and ask just to be sure!

    I like that the track is beginner friendly for my kiddo, but why are people being so hostile over a kid's race?

Birthday girl had a great time exploring, playing and eating. The team were so easy to work with from the email correspondence on my Cinnamoroll themed table vision to day of set up. The staff were super quick & accommodating when they were assisting me with the set up. They helped me string up and put a HBD banner and set up my little one's high chair and way more like help bring stuff in, stock the drink fridge, set out the pastries, etc. They just knew what to do & did it straight away. I was amazed by the speed and professionalism! If only I had this level of set up at every birthday party. Barely any dictation or answering questions was needed. What a hugeeee lift off the mental load! There's a dedicated drink fridge in front of the register that kept our drinks chilled and easy for guests to grab. The food table is nice and long so it held a lot of food & we had A LOTT of food. We opted for the photo package too which was nice because usually being the host means you're too busy to take photos and get photos taken of your family. Overall, I highly recommend this place for your little one's special event! I only wish that this place was bigger so that we could invite more friends to our event. However, being smaller means more intimate events and those who are invited should feel super blessed and lucky to have made the cut!

The event space was spacious and although the toys,…read moreplay structures, and walls show some wear you can tell that care has been put into maintaining and cleaning the place. Our group ranged from 11 months to just over 2 years old, and there were plenty of suitable toys for our age group. There were plenty of toys to go around that the kids were not trying to take things from one another. I think if they put a fresh coat of paint on things or maybe invested in some newer toys this place would be 5 stars. With that being said, even in its current state it's still worthwhile coming if you have small children!

I would never thought this historical building being used for many memorable events. It's located all in the way in the back of the park, opposite of Triton Museum. My GPS app took me around the block 3 times and I finally decided to walk. At this venue, the hostess used the lawn area for picnic-style dining while house being used for food preparation and one restroom. She also rented a nearby building Santa Clara Players for additional restrooms. Only thoughtful event organizer would think ahead of people when they have to go. Just by walking around, Jamison Brown House has so many artistic elements for photography projects. Like posing a bride or graduate on the porch with the railing. Or, bride and groom holding hands walking down the wooden stairs. Oh, better yet, have kids looking through the beveled glass window with curious expression. The website has a list of criteria for caterers, permits and discount for Santa Clara residents. It's a good idea to come out to check out Jamison Brown House for your next venue.

The house also has very strict rules with respect to what gets onto the walls and how far our furniture needs to be away from the walls etc. In addition to all this, there was a bad smell emanating from the kitchen. In spite of all these issues and the cost, we had an amazing time. Our guests loved the venue. Our party was on a warm summer evening and it couldn't have been better. We used the outdoor area for seating and not the house and it was truly magical.

All of my guests thought the venue was absolutely adorable. I can't recommend this place enough. It was super affordable had enough parking for all 30 of my guests and clean! I wish I could give this venue 10/5 stars.
